"Established in 1957 and set in a beautiful old school house, the [Concorde Club] boasts an excellent restaurant, wine bar and hotel. Originally set up as a jazz club it now offers a diverse entertainment programme including live music five nights a week."

The Concorde is a private members club based in Eastleigh, near Southampton, Hampshire, real Heinz Burt territory. Not a Concorde VIP? I hear buying a meal gets you in the door. But confirm by ringing 023 8065 1478. Further contact details here.
